imgdmp (pron: ĭmˈĭjdŭmp)

A service for uploading and storing images

• Upload images
• Install in seconds
• Self-hosted
• HTTP Bearer authentication strategy for uploads
• Expiry date for images and cron based cleanup

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/madflow/imgdmp
cd imgdmp
yarn
# npm install
yarn start
# npm start

Deployment

Docker

In order to upload in image the environment variable BEARER_TOKEN= has to be set. It is your responsibility to provide this variable.

• Docker Compose has the concept of .env variables to accomplish this. There is a env.dist in the root of this repository that can simply be copied to .env.
• The Docker cli accepts environment variables like this: -e "BEARER_TOKEN=XXXXX". Since this would print the secret this method is discouraged.

Example docker-compose.yml

version: "3"

services:
  imgdmp:
    image: madflow/imgdmp
    ports:
      - 80:3000
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - BEARER_TOKEN=${BEARER_TOKEN}
    volumes:
      - imgdmp-data:/app/data

volumes:
  imgdmp-data:
    driver: local

Example Docker run

docker run -v "imgdmp-data:/app/data" -e "NODE_ENV=production" -m "300M" --memory-swap "1G" -p "3000:3000" madflow/imgdmp
